Strength training focusing on power and power-to-weight ratio is crucial for distance runners.

“we're in the weight room like you got it's a power to weight ratio like so you got to have power and that's an area I've grown a ton in since I've retired from running and as I look back at my the weights I was doing I I just kind of like scratch my head I'm like I wish I could go back and do things a little bit differently in the weight room because I don't think I was using my time effectively there but um yeah it's power is so important for for distance Runners of all I mean unless maybe if you're doing like super ultra stuff maybe it's not quite as important but for I think I think it matters everywhere”
